Back in the day Cliff Thornburn was our local Canadian hero. I saw him recently on the trick shot tour. Still shoots a good game.
To think...if you'd kept it up, you could have wasted your life instead of getting a "real job". What amazes me is how little these top level guys really earn in a year, compared to say, Tiger Woods.

You're right...the game isn't about making balls, it's all about playing good shape...
This leaves those not in the know wondering why these guys seem to always have easy shots...other than when they get purposely hooked by their opponent.
